Claudia's Resolution

— After that, I had returned to Wells' Clothing Shop and took care of some small preparations that still had yet to be done. I went over the design a few more times while waiting for the model of Rose to be finished.

A couple weeks pa.s.sed and Rose came to see me as I was working away in my room.

"it's been a while, Rose."

"Yeah, almost three weeks now, right? What have you been up to?"

"I've been making some accessories. I also made some decorations for your shoes as well."

"Hee~…. That fabric is beautiful and it feels so nice…. Where did you find something like that?"

"Oh that. It seems Claudia's childhood friend is able to make it, and that's actually why I need your help paying for it. I doubt there's anyone else capable of making fabric equal to that."

"…of course. It really is beautiful though. Would you mind introducing me to her later?"

"Okay, I'm sure she'd like to meet you. So, is your model finished?"

At first, I had planned on having Wells-san make the model of Rose.

However, Rose didn't want to tell someone else her body measurements, so she had an employee of the Brad family make the model instead.

Wells-san has actually been busy making Claudia's model in case we need it in the future.

"The model is complete. Would you like it in here?"

"Yeah. I've been the only one using this workshop so it should be fine."

"Alright then, Lilia, please bring it in here."

After Rose spoke, Lilia entered the room carrying the model of Rose that was wrapped in a cloth.

"Thank you. I'll be in here talking with Yuzuki onii-san for a while. You can relax outside."

"Of course."

Lilia bowed before leaving the room. Rose watched her and then turned to the model and removed the cloth, revealing a model that resembled Rose's body….

"Aren't the b.r.e.a.s.t.s a little big?"

I said this without even thinking.

Rose's chest is around a B or a C, slightly larger than the average size for her age. But this model is closer to a C or even a D.

"As expected of you, Yuzuki onii-san. You could tell just by looking."

"No, it's just…umm…."

I was the one that measured her…. That's just an excuse.

"Well, if the chest of the model is bigger than you actually are, the chest of the dress will be loose. Unless you plan on using padding…."

Rose already has a great figure. I don't know why she'd feel the need to use padding.

"Umm, I don't plan on using any padding. And if you're worried about the size, I don't think that should be an issue."

"Eh? What does that mean?"

"My chest has grown quite a bit over the past few weeks. So, I think this size will be closer to my own when the social event happens."

"I-I see. But why have they been grow…. Never mind."

"It's because Yuzuki onii-san did so many amazing things to me~"

"- I said never mind!"

Even if she says 'amazing things,' every time we've done it I've had my hands and feet restrained in some way.

…I guess that's not exactly the point.

"Anyway, you want me to design the dress according to this model then?"

"Yep, that should be fine."

"All right. I'll start draping but what are you planning on doing?"

"I'll stay here for a few days before returning to the mansion. If you're planning on starting on the dress today, can I stay here and watch? I won't disturb you or anything."

"I don't mind…. I'll go get Claudia."

I found Claudia and brought her back to my room.

"Master, are you going to start making the dress now?"

"Yeah. I'll be using a technique called draping to make the design. In the future I'd like you to be able to do this on your own, so I'd like you to observe now so you can learn."

"Okay, I'll do my best."

Claudia seemed really motivated. All right, let's get started.

"Then, Claudia, grab that cheap cloth there."

"…you're going to use cheap cloth to make Rose-sama's dress?"

"This is just the base cloth I'll be using on the pattern paper. It doesn't matter what quality this cloth is."

My plan involves drawing out the necessary parts on pattern paper so I can calculate the proper length. I can then use the draping method to determine the exact measurements I'll need and then copy that over to the pattern paper.

"First, we can put the cloth on the back of the model and pin it…. Then, we can pinch in the waist and pin it once more. By doing this, we can see that the cloth is now a better fit on the model. We now know that we can cut away this excess fabric here. Does that make sense?"

I turned back to look at them.

"Hee~…. So that's how draping works."

"Master, this is revolutionary! With this I'll be able to make parts so easily!"

Claudia was ecstatic while Rose sat there admiring it.
